Job description

WORKING FOR SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL

As one of the largest employers in Sheffield, with over 7,000 employees, we aim to recruit and develop people who share our passion for Sheffield. If you work for us, you will be part of a team, which provides a huge range of services to our 574,000 residents, businesses large and small, as well as to our many visitors to the city.
The Senior Facilities Manager is an exciting opportunity for you to be part of implementing a new approach to managing our street scene across the city. Our vision is to ensure we join up all Streetscene services for the benefit of our customers.
In Sheffield we want everyone to have a great neighbourhood that people are happy to call home. We deliver high quality neighbourhoods which are clean, green, resilient and safe, and where people can live healthy lives. In order to achieve this, we work as one team for Sheffield to meet challenges head on and involve local people to improve our services and quality of life in our city.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced professional with a background in Street Scene management, with excellent resource management skills and the ability to lead a multi-skilled team of maintenance and horticultural supervisors and operatives to deliver joined up services focussed on the needs of our local communities.
We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate versatility and focus on innovation to improve our street scene, someone who can work with our communities to make the most of local strengths to deliver sustainable outcomes and improvements.
You will directly manage a team already delivering place management in the city centre, and your teams will lead the council’s approach to solve street scene issues by working with teams not directly under your management and improving the skills and resilience in your own team. You will manage your service using a ‘Team around the Place’ approach through embedding a culture of excellence and versatility in your teams, working with services such as Highways, Waste, Parks, Housing, South Yorkshire Police and volunteering groups.
So, if you are a people manager who can work with partners and stakeholders to deliver new ways of working to get the best for our communities, then we look to receiving your application.

Additional information is included to enable you to be aware of the scale of our ambition and the strategic ambitions you will help us realise
